Rock Band is dangerously close to convincing me I'm accomplishing something/learning a skill when I play.

Feel Free to rescue me of my illusion.

Ooo, you can press buttons on a fake guitar that is nothing like a real musical instrument, good for you! You can really take that skill to the bank.

if I wanted that, I could go to Guitar Center.

I expected better.

Music is music. Even if you were playing those same songs on a real instrument you'd still be playing someone else's music. Though it is a game, at a certain point it goes past novelty into something that does require a certain degree of aptitude. Plus, there is SO MUCH more to music than just the physical mechanics of an instrument.

Sounds like quintillian has never or simply doesn't know how to play Guitar Hero. As it turns out, it's based on actual guitars.

oh, she just teasin'

like you do. I've *seen* her rhythm game affiliations.
